土家语南部方言区民俗文化研究

A Report on the Folk Culture in the Southern Dialect Area of Tujia

湘西泸溪县潭溪镇除了保留有土家语南部方言外,还有与土家语北部方言区不同的民俗文化,最突出的是跳香、六龙节、土地会和洗寨。这些文化都十分原始,体现了土家语南部方言区民俗文化的悠久性、古朴性,同时也显彰了土家语南部方言区的土家人为了生存融入自然及与灾难斗争的精神。

In addition to retaining the southern dialect of Tujia language,Tanxi town in Luxi County of Xiangxi District also has different folk cultures from the northern dialect area of Tujia,the most prominent are Tiaoxiang Dance,Six Dragon Festival,Land Temple Fair and Xizhai Activity.These cultures are primitive,reflecting the long cultural and ancient simplicity of the folk customs in the southern dialect area of Tujia.At the same time,they are also records of Tujia people in the southern dialect area integrating into nature for survival and fighting against disasters.
